North Chicago — An 11-year-old girl was treated and released from a Waukegan hospital after being attacked by a pit bull Tuesday afternoon near Argonne Drive and Seymour Avenue. Reports said Arianna Mason, 11, of 1312 20th St., was chased by the pit bull and another dog before the pit bull knocked the girl down and bit the back of her head. Witnesses told police the pit bull began pulling at the girl before releasing its grip and running with the other dog into an open yard in the 1900 block of Greenfield Avenue where its owners live. Police officers had to use pepper gas to subdue the dogs, reports said. The girl was treated and released at St. Therese Medical Center, Waukegan.
